    Your Internet traffic being encrypted is totally up to the site receiving your traffic or to the app on your phone sending it. And you still leave your metadata at your ISP, along with DNS.
    Sure you can always set up your own DNSSEC but the effort compared to just clicking “connect” in that VPN app is not even compareable.

    I can be private and anonymous without VPN - but a normal user? Just use VPN dude.

      A VPN is not a replacement for https and encrypted DNS.

      As far as your data goes it is encrypted via https.
